Blessed are the Poor Lyrics

Trapped in an unjust world where the powerful prosper

Found wanting, I'm found alone, I got nothing to offer

Then came a teacher so upside down, bringing more than religion

Saying the first are last, the least are the greatest

He told me to rejoice and be glad

Blessed are the poor in spirit

They shall inherit the kingdom of Heaven

Of Heaven

Blessed are the ones who hunger and

thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied

Filled with life

He came and he healed my eyes, gave me a vision

A broken and twisted soul, started mending and dancing

He took on my hopeless heart, showed me restoration

Raising the dead to life, to life everlasting

How can I not rejoice and be glad

Blessed are the poor in spirit

They shall inherit the kingdom of Heaven

Of Heaven

Blessed are the ones who hunger and

thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied

Filled with life

For all the pure in heart, for everyone who mourns

Great is your reward, great is your reward

For the merciful and meek, for all those making peace

Great is your reward, great is your reward

If you're wronged for doing right

If you're fighting the good fight

Great is your reward, great is your reward

Blessed are the poor in spirit

They shall inherit the kingdom of Heaven

Of Heaven

Blessed are the ones who hunger and

thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied

Filled with life

Filled with life
